FAQ: Data proration
Get to know your rate plan proration
When you change your rate plan in the middle of your billing cycle, the amount of data and minutes you get access to from your new rate plan will be prorated. This means that you won’t have access to the full amount of your data until your next billing cycle.
For example, if you switch from a 6GB rate plan to a 10GB rate plan with 15 days left in your billing cycle, you will have access to 5GB of data for these 15 days. You will have access to the full 10GB data amount once you enter your first full billing cycle.
Frequently asked questions
I have switched my rate plan, but I had data remaining from my last plan. Will it be carried over?

What is a full billing cycle?

Your new rate plan will begin the moment we send you a confirmation. As soon as you get this, it also means that your old plan is no longer in service.
Note
